Summary

The Kinect was designed to sit in front of a TV, not carried around in your hand. Since I've started playing with Kinect Fusion style 3D scanning, ie: http://reconstructme.net - I found it awkward to carry it around and point it at things. So I decided it needed a handle.

Since this creates a standard tripod mount screw on the top of the pistol grip, it can be used to attach to anything that is made to connect to tripods. So it should work with most cameras and other Kinect tripod adapters.

Also, if you happen to have a real AR-15 grip, you could probably use that too.

Is there a reason that the grip and the second piece were printed as two separate parts and then bolted together? Couldn't you just make a single piece and not need the extra bolt? Or all 3 pieces for that matter, and just use the 4 screws.

I hadn't heard of ReConstructMe before. Thanks so much for the post. If the NC version of the software works as advertised, I may be printing this object. Otherwise, my Kinect sensor will sit right where it is. :) Affordable 3D scanning would make my business goals jump through the roof. I'm willing to pay for this software, but love the idea that they're willing to give it to people for non-commercial use. People are finally figuring it out... give it away first, then sell it. Makes sense. If I love it, I'll buy it. Otherwise, I'll move on to the next best thing. But don't ever knock on my door, trying to sell anything. If I wanted it, I'd already own it. I like the style that the guys at "ReConstructMe" are using. It's a powerful style... not much media hype, but they're offering some amazing things for free. At least for now... until they reach enough downloads and positive results that they realize they can be multi-millionaires. Unfortunately, that's also the point where the software will go to hell. History repeats itself, I'm sad to say. Everyone puts money first. That's the downfall of our social world. If we learned to provide services to others, and put that first, the money would come in hand over fist.

Take your negative rant and sit on it. Just because they are successful and start selling something does not mean they will fail and become like"everyone else". If they make money, the quality will go UP not down because they will want to keep making money. You sir, are a hater.
